Food truck hire in Tillington

How our food truck hire works in Tillington

Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. At staff summer parties and leaving dos and retirements, we can serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch.

In a hamlet or village like Tillington, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

What happens on the day

We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Late-September events in Tillington see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.

  1. Ask us whether your date is available.
  2. We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
  3. We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
  4. On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
  5. We pack down and drive away when service ends.

Getting ready for the day

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Diets, allergies and planning

Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Agree service times with us
  • Confirm allergies with us in writing
  • Have shelter ready in case of rain
  • Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in

Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.

Quesadillas make an easy option for children.

FAQs for Tillington

Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of All Hallows?

Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.

Do you cater in villages like Tillington?

Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Do you need power and water?

It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

What does food truck hire cost?

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

How does food truck hire work?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Tillington. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

  • Christenings and family parties
  • Client hospitality
